“Resindipity,” the solo exhibition by Batangas artist Mischa, is ongoing at Reflections Gallery at Museo Orlina.
Sourced from the material resin and driven by the artist’s need to discover something unexpected, the works are relief-paintings with undulating surface evoking a cascade of drapery and laced with tangled webs of dribbled paint.
Museo Orlina is at Tagaytay City.
